Girlfriend Getaways: The Fifties Itinerary

Gather your gal pals. With Archer Hotel Austin’s Girlfriend Getaways, you can get out with the girls for footloose, fancy-free, hair-blowing-in-the-wind, making-your-own-fun kind of good times.

The 50s are a metamorphic-like force, and so are you. It’s a time of knowing your superpowers and your limitations — alternating day drinks with water, for one. It’s a new vantage point for the wild and wonderful places you have yet to go and the freedom and insistence to be true to your best self.

There is a fun and valuable perspective that arrives with more time on the planet. Experience it. Celebrate it. Share it!

Choose your adventure, ladies.

We’ve done some of the legwork for you, putting it all within easy reach of Archer Austin.

Morning

Find your perfect coffee or handcrafted tea at Starbucks, and pair it with a savory breakfast sandwich, egg bites or pastry. Its protein boxes and bowls offer a minimum of 20 grams of protein each, and the cool yogurt options hit the spot no matter what time the clock says. An added bonus: Starbucks ethically sources its sustainable products and actively works to reduce its environmental impact.

Eats

Nothing like $2 mimosas and Bellinis to start the day on a celebratory note. With Northern Italian, farm-to-table breakfasts, this inviting patio restaurant is likened to tavernas in Italy known for treating customers more like friends and family. Try the risotto con burrata — delish.

High ceilings, exposed brick and cascading Edison bulbs make for a warm backdrop to chef Alonso Lopez’s locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. Pizzas, pastas and a generous variety of delicious modern Italian small plates.

The more the merrier: Whether for girlfriend getaways or a fabulous meal, sharing with those you adore makes the time spent more special. Sway’s communal setting and inspiring small-plateThai menu ensure a most-memorable time for one and all.

A steakhouse and wine bar chain known for aged prime beef and such other classics as lobster, pork chops, chicken and salad — with a bevy of fantastic shareable appetizers. Award-winning collection of 100 wines by the glass. Sonoma Sunday Brunch 11 AM – 3 PM.

You never outgrow icy treats. Steel City Treats brings all-natural, locally sourced goodness one pop at a time. Enjoy a flavor as is or fancy it up with a dip, dredge, drizzle or dust of deliciousness.

Shopping

A feast for the eyes on a socially conscious mission. Stylish sunglasses and eyeglasses are designed in-house from the highest-quality materials. For every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need.

The latest luxury styles from top designers for special, fun or fashionable finds. Schedule a stylist for a private shopping soirée (1 – 2 days’ notice). Personalized based on your lifestyle, designer preferences, leisure or business wardrobe wants and needs. Up the fun factor with bubbles, wine and pre- or post-makeovers. Your Archer decade hostess can arrange the details.

Happy Hour and Beyond

Food you love with real-food ingredients, local produce and creative cocktails that are infused, muddled, finished and topped. With a daily happy hour, their hospitality and house-made everything could become a great new habit. 3 – 7 PM.

Foodies and wine lovers alike are drawn to this elegant and casually hip space with 30 wines by the glass and 300 splendid bottles from all over the world at every price point. Better yet, they pair their wine with delightful Napa-style foods. Happy hour Monday – Friday 4 – 6:30 PM.

Underground jazz bar with nightly live music, plus more than 20 draft beers and wines by the glass. Downtown, divey and decked out in dollar bills with a daily happy hour 4 – 7 PM. Come early to avoid lines, though worth the wait.

If only the best will do, treat yourselves right with a day of pampering at this award-winning day spa, just around the corner from Archer. Check out the Viva Diva Spa package for 6.5 hours of sublime relaxation and rejuvenation.
